Hey guys, this is Admin Z! Have you guys read this article yet? It’s a short, good read. Finally someone in the Korean community speaking out about racial prejudice. It’s a shame it took so long; it’s a shame that it’s not even something the people of Allkpop would post themselves.
Nonetheless, here it is. Thank you, Tiger JK for speaking out about something that seems taboo in Korea. Any comments, opinions?

Hello, everyone! I am a new admin and I thought I’d introduce myself. I joined yesterday. You can call me Admin Z. I just wanted to stop by before I went back to my personal blog to spazz about Big Bang! :D (The Blue MV already reached 10 million views! Check out the Bad Boy MV)
Anyways, as it’s been stated before… this blog isn’t just for African-Americans. This is for anyone who would be discriminated against if they were to travel to Korea. I myself, am a brown-skinned Latina. You could be from anywhere. Even people from parts of Asia would be discriminated against because of their darker skin tone. So don’t hesitate to submit something okay? Bye!
This is good. This is very good! This is extremely good! Progress is being made!

So far, there’s 4 admins:
-Admin A (Liyah)
-Admin G (Gladys?)
-Admin Z (yourself)
-Admin M (me)
Also, I just changed the theme to make it easier on the eyes, but idk if everyone has seen it yet so I (timidly) suggest to hold off on changes until everyone has become accustomed to it… *fiddles with fingers*
But yeah~ welcome to the “board”!! It’s good to have a little more help around here, and if you have any suggestions then let us know~ ^^

Lol this is Admin G speaking :D I don’t think there is a “main” admin, but the person responsibile for all of this is Liyah, She’s amazing! Her idea! Also I don’t know much about the graphics, but if you wanna change up the tumblr page it self to make it cooler I have no problem with it :D
Admin M says: This is an interview I gave yesterday evening to a Korean guy I know who lives above me in my dormitory. While it is not necessarily centered around Kpop, it does have relevance to the subject of diversity in Korea/Korean entertainment.

Anyone can submit! ^^
You do not have to be African/African-American to submit or post a video! While the idea and creation of this page was birthed among a few black Kpop fans such as myself, this page isn’t exclusive to just us. Spread the word so that everyone knows.
